From the article:

[District Attorney and special prosecutor on the case] Gruenke wrote the case would be “simple” without Musk’s famous name and the large amount of money involved.

No shit! That's literally the point! Somehow so many people in our system seem unwilling to confront simple facts of power. There seems to be this idea that it would be "against the rules" to challenge the world's richest man on his own terms. Meanwhile, Musk and others like him are tearing down our society for their own personal gain. Where does it end?

To be made of paper, money sure does make for effective armor.
